Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Figure 1. Figure 3is a section on line 3 3 of Figure. 1. As shown in these views, Iprovide a frame which is composed of the vertical bars 1 and the 25transverse bars 2, a pair of the bars 1 forming the sides of the frameand a pair of the bars 2 forming the ends of the frame.
